Set current date as default date in slicer

Dear All,

 

I have a slicer window with a date field as below. On page load, I want this field to auto select the current date. Can somebody please help on this urgently.

 

For e.g today it should auto select 02/09/2018, tomorrow it should be 03/09/2018 and son on. 

 

Regarsds,

    Hi Shahinkmajeed,

     

    You can't do this directly in the report designer, but you should be able to do some modelling to make it work. Here I made one sample for your reference.

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwtNA3sNQ3MFTSUTJUitVBEjICChmhCoFUGaMKGQOFTJRiYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, sale = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}, {"sale", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Date.IsInCurrentDay( [date] )
then "Today"
else [date])
in
    #"Added Custom"

    Also you can use DAX to get the similar result.

     

    Column2 = IF(Table1[date]=TODAY(),"today",CONCATENATE(Table1[date],""))

     

    Here is the result for your reference.

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
